The Castle of Grumpy Grouch 1907 Rare $.25~Sold $50
The Castle of Grumpy Grouch is a rare Fairy Story by Mary Dickerson Donahey. Color illustrations by J.R. Clay. Pen drawings by Ruth Elliott Newton. Barse and Hopkins, NY. Copyright 1907 1st edition. Hardcover. I found this at a yard sale and bought it for $.25. It looked unusual and I noticed the 8 color plates and pen drawings. I thought to myself those look pretty rare for that time and it was in exceptional condition. The story is a classic tale of an ill-tempered little princess.
I have seen this book else where on the internet from $175-$500.
